A Child Called "It"
A Child Called "It" is a true story about the horrible childhood Dave Pelzer had as a young boy. He lived in California, and he went through years of torturous games he had to play with his mentally sick and drunken mother, from the age of 4 to 12. These games sometimes almost left him dead, for example: one game was that if Dave did not finish his chores in time his mom told him that she would kill him, he did not finish in time and ended up getting stabbed in the stomach by his mother. My favorite part of the book was when Dave promises himself that he will survive, and says "In order to survive, I could never give in to her. That day I vowed to myself that I would never, ever again give that b**** the satisfaction of hearing me begging her to stop beating me". This is my favorite part because it is when Dave finally will have a goal besides getting to eat. Also, it is a huge turnaround for Dave so he is looking up. I would reccomend this book to anyone who is interested in autobiographys and the horrible act of child abuse. I do not recommend this book to anyone who has high sensitivity to this sort of stuff. I liked this book because it truly taught me how lucky I am to live in a family who has so much more love than Dave Pelzer's family.
